Lawsuit Against Evolution

A former physics/chemistry teacher in Pennsylvania has filed a federal lawsuit seeking an injunction against teaching the theory of evolution, because it promotes religion; or rather, 'atheism.' He argue that if creationism can't be taught because it promotes Christianity, then evolution can't be taught because it promotes atheism.

What do you guys think? Should evolution be taught in public schools? If not, should creationism be taught?

Home schooling is not necessarily a facet of religion; some parents have their children home schooled because of a perceived failure of the public school system, and granted, one that is not properly subsidized does become, essentially, shit. I don't know of any home schooling that teaches basic science, though if there are, I wouldn't be against it in principle, however, it's best the children get a proper education in a decently funded public school.

Abolishing the public school system is not only throwing out the baby with the bathwater, but fucking retarded.
